rushing settle
I just told him to settle in because I thought he was rushing it a little bit. Once he got out of the second, he cruised pretty much.
assuming case chips fall goal good happen hard head job opportunity remain work
Every job that I have taken, my goal has not been to see where I was going, but to work as hard as I could and let the chips fall where they may. And that is what will probably happen in this case ... I am assuming if I do a good job, I will get an opportunity (to remain head coach).
anybody beat game given granted lessons players talk
Every day in this game anything can happen. That's one of the lessons I'll talk to our players about. You can't take for granted anything. On any given day, anybody can beat anybody.
cash created pressure
We created some pressure in other innings, but we just didn't cash in on them. At the end of the game, we got more than they did and that's all that counts.
dwell few pick players pleased words
We'll just pick up the pieces. We won't dwell on this one for a long time. We've got to play a whole lot better and our players know that. I'll probably have to say very few words to them. That's the one thing I've always been pleased with is they're competitors. They're probably just as disappointed as I am.
good win
If we can win every series, we'll have a good season.
coming duke game key lead point scoring third though
I though the key point in the game was Scott Andrews coming in first and third and Duke with a 2-1 lead and getting out of that inning without them scoring a run.
balls hit looks plays
I thought we had better looks at the plate. But you've got to give them credit. They made some plays on some balls that were hit hard.
bad ball key late leaving left lets
I thought the key was he was just a little late getting out of his glove. Mechanically, he was leaving the ball up. I didn't want him to get off to a bad start. Dustin (Sasser) went out (Saturday night) and left the ball up. I just told him, 'Keep the ball down and lets get it going.
felt guys
I felt like he was laboring and that's when guys get hurt.
joking maybe skip sunday
I was joking with (Gary Overton) a while ago that maybe we'll just skip Sunday and just play on Monday.
move program ready realize tackle
I would say, that certainly, this was all of a sudden. I would say there was some concern. I think they realize where this program is at, at this moment, and they're ready to tackle that and move forward.
against baseball bunt college created creating easier good location situation team teams
I think it's about creating pressure. When you can get a bunt down in a good situation in the right location against a team defensively, now you've created where the team's got to make that throw. Even in college baseball as good as teams are, it's easier said than done.
arm care felt shot step
We felt like someone had to step up and give us a shot in the arm and we didn't care who it was.
